Metaphorically Dead
Fuck this place
with its depression painted walls
traumatic trauma floorboards
Slowly serenading a death sentence
songs of misery, beleaguered
four walled panic attacks
Wallowing in cesspools of emptiness
no change today, sinking deeper
oh despair
clawing hands dragging
dragging marrow from the bone
Drought
where floods of tears once spewed
like ashened rain
washing away brittle bone
Mortis sets incased stone
petrified putrid statue
David
Eyes missing
Deceased exterior
inferno burning within
with its depression painted walls
traumatic trauma floorboards
Slowly serenading a death sentence
songs of misery, beleaguered
four walled panic attacks
Wallowing in cesspools of emptiness
no change today, sinking deeper
oh despair
clawing hands dragging
dragging marrow from the bone
Drought
where floods of tears once spewed
like ashened rain
washing away brittle bone
Mortis sets incased stone
petrified putrid statue
David
Eyes missing
Deceased exterior
inferno burning within

This place has all but killed me
Pile the wood up
Douse the pyre in kerosene

It is said that there's a reason we burn, to be reborn from the flames of experience. Some people wallow in the ashes of hurt. Other, rise into a new start. I'm betting on the latter for you.
This is a solid poem, CN.

Have You ever read
Japanese Death Poems, Written by Zen Monks and Haiku Poets on the Verge of Death, ?
(i mailed my first copy given to me to Em to have)
I highly recommend it, Brother
My goal before i accept the Grim Reaper's hand is to be in a peaceful state of being
I believe every Buddhist Monk and Nun shares the same goal and what a wonderful thing it is to share a final ort of wisdom with the world before going on to either rebirth or beyond!
I wish this for You, my spiritual Brother
Chat with me any time (on FB) and i will do my best to understand
You've expressed Your emotions very well here.
I hope it doesn't mean You're leaving DUP again and it's just my struggle to understand metaphor
that is prevalent here.
